  I've been training wing chun for 6years now with sifu Russell Bennham. I've known him for about 20years now but sadly we lost contact. I was searching for a school to learn wing chun and when I saw the name Russell bennham I was like oh my hes still training. On my first class you could tell he was a great teacher and I wouldn't train with anyone else. I moved out london and I now travel 35miles to get there every week to go to class. Hes always said dont look at where you are but how far I've come. Wing chun is part of my life now and I couldn't be without it all thanks to sifu Russell. If you want to learn wing chun sifu Russell Bennham is the sifu to teach you believe me as he explains everything in fine detail and in such a way it easy to learn. Thank you sifu for all you have taught me and are still teaching me. If you want to try something new in a fun safe environment Wimbledon wing chun is the place to be, you never no you might just get hooked like I did.

  I have been fortunate enough to be a student of Sifu Russel Benham for 15 months now & it truly has been a privalege to be a part of his club. As an older student I have always had a passion for fitness/training & I had previously studied other fighting arts (Boxing, Judo, Shotokan Karate & Wing Tsun) but I can honestly say that Sifu Russell teaches a COMPLETE system at the highest level I have ever encountered ( & I have had the experience of training with various Sifu's from around Europe in Wing Tsun Kung Fu). Sifu Russell is a kind, cheery & incredibly patient man, a perfectionist & true gentleman. On top of this not only does he have incredible technical skills in all aspects of the complete Wing Chun system (both unarmed & weapons) which touch on super-human ability & really have to be seen to be believed, but he has an infectious character & passion for Wing Chun that I have never encountered anywhere before. The classes are fun & friendly with a mixture of young & old(er!) male/female students. They are always brilliantly structured & well managed, with his senior students/instructors all having the same kind, friendly & approachable attitude as their Sifu, it really is like one big family group with no negatives at all. On top of the classes there are numerous local seminars throughout the year & the availability of private lessons with Sifu Russell, so you really can learn the system at a pace that suits you as an individual. There are numerous Wing Chun schools/classes in the South London/Surrey area but few, if any, will have somebody of Sifu Russell's abilities & personality at their helm, of that I am supremely confident. If you are looking to learn a Martial art that is 100% effective in this increasingly more volatile & violent 21st century we live in, to be able to feel more confident when walking the streets or out with your family & loved ones, to know if necessary you have the real self defence skills needed to protect them & yourself, then look no further & contact Sifu Russell. I can assure you if you are serious about learning genuine Wing Chun Kung Fu in a friendly, family-like environment, then this club is the place to be doing it. Thank you Sifu Russel & I look forward to many more years of training under your guidance, if I can become half the martial artist you are then I would consider myself a very competent practitioner indeed, your attitude to Wing Chun & life in general has had a profound impact on me, helping me to become a calmer, confident & more patient man/husband/father myself, a clear knock-on effect of being around such positive influences.

  “Researching for ways to improve my health and fitness, I considered looking into forms of self-defence. As there were so many too choose it was hard to decide, but since I joined Wing Chun I know it was the best decision I made. Sifu Russell Benham was an extremely welcoming ,friendly and approachable teacher. The introductory offer of having my first two lessons for free was a fantastic way to introduce myself to other classmates and witness hands on how each lesson takes place and what is required of me. I’ve had so much fun learning Wing Chun and all it has to offer as I now approach the end of my first year, I wouldn’t look back my confidence has grown exponentially and although no fitness is required for Wing Chun. The experience and lessons learnt have encouraged me to pursue my personal fitness outside of class to become a more a stronger and dedicated Wing Chun martial artist. Joining Wing Chun has changed my perspective on how I view my bodies movements and flexibility to use to my advantage in self-defence as well general health and fitness and most of all it’s so much fun. Having fun whilst learning has to be (and in my opinion is) the most attractive way to learn a new sport/activity or skill.”

  I came to win chun a martial arts novice ,about 3 years ago, but quickly came to realise what an efficient system it really is, the whole system is based on principles which help you have a greater understand things more easily, one being that you would always take the shortest distance of travel of your limbs to the contact point therefore being faster and more effective than showey round house kicks and large tegagraphed punches, and Sifu Russell Benham has a vast wealth of experience and knowledge and a real passion for what he does, There is always a reason or explanation for any questions you may have , he is patient with you as you learn. Win chun is like a puzzle , and I personally can't wait for the next peice.
